    I’d disagree, that’s a talking point promoted by big oil/corpoghouls to encourage divide and conquer tactics and move perception away from the issues at hand.

    There’s been a concerted effort by petrochemical ghouls to hinder any progressive innovation that doesn’t require oil for the last 100 years.

    This paired with western societies exceptionalism and belief that it can live outside of nature and limited resources is the biggest driving factor behind the mass extinction event.

    We need to radically rethink our society to cause effective change, it’s hard to orchestrate that on the individual level but innovation that can offer convienent alternatives would cause the majority of people to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing quality of life.

    At this point in time it is too late for us to continue living as we know it. Billions of people will now have to die, borders will be reshaped and our entire societies will become unrecognisable from what they are today, most likely for the worse.

    I paint it out to sound like we should give up, but we absolutely should not. We have a choice to drag our heels kicking and screaming into the future at the detriment for all or we can continue fighting for a better world.



  • desire to learn more DSP maths increases

    But seriously that’s really cool! You also sound really cool, do you mind me asking where your studies have taken you? I’m looking at going back to study soon, potentially for compsci and mechanical engineering but I’m torn between a lot of different degree at this moment


  • Thanks for expounding, I’ll definitely look into using that filament.

    My aim is to find a cost effective diy solution for robotic servos. I want to try to make something equivalent to the Dynamixel mid range.

    I think the cost of these motors make amateur robotics prohibitively expensive.

    I considered designing a gear hob / jig to make hobs for the open lathe 3d print, but I feel like that’s too far abstracted from my purpose and most people wouldn’t be willing to go that route. (But it’d still be pretty cool)

    So I’m considering multiple options, 3d printed gears, purchased metal gear sets, diy gears from the lathe

    I’m gonna do some more research on these gears and I’ll let you know if I find anything culpable




  • My common solution to boot issues that lock me out is,

    1. Get a USB Live distro (always good to have a backup lying around)

    2. Boot into live distro

    3. Chroot into the broken distro (Arch wiki has an article on this)

    4. Fix any bugs that I can find and/or reinstall the bootloader

    5. Test, repeat until the problem has been found and fixed

    Hope it helps any newcomers!
